Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Adam and Mitch look at a magazine that Adam thinks would get him in trouble with his dad and that the tiny parents can't see from their angle on the floor. Wayne crawls up on the magazine after the boys leave and discovers it's a regular issue of Sports Illustrated for Kids. Wayne seems nearly as upset as he would have been if it really had turned out to be Playboy, though not because of what the magazine turned out to be, but because Adam would think he'd be so upset about it. This is what starts Wayne's character growth in this film and makes him start to realize that he needs to let Adam pursue his own interests instead of forcing him into the sciences; his own son is actually afraid of him finding out he's into sports.

Never Trust a Trailer: One promo shows Mitch fainting upon seeing his shrunken mom and aunt, though the movie shows he actually passed out from a lack of potassium and assumed he imagined seeing his mom and aunt. Seeing them didn't help, however.

comment
Failsafe Failure: Wayne installed a locked glass case over the Big Red Button that fires the shrink ray, presumably so no one but him can use it. Smart, but it doesn't do any good when he doesn't bother to lock it up after he shrinks the Tiki Man statue, which leads directly to him, his brother, and their wives being shrunk.

comment
Chekhov's Gun: Wayne's giant Tiki Man statue in the foyer. His decision to shrink it rather than get rid of it like Diane demands in the opening scene is what triggers the events of the film. The bad brakes on Diane's car. She assumes the brakes went bad when she hears a weird noise, but waves it off. 20 minutes later, her car rolls backwards out of the driveway, which prevents the kids from noticing their return. Mitch's pills. Mitch offhandedly comments that he didn't take them, and mentions that the lack of immediate effects means he's probably fine. He ends up passing out, providing one of the biggest worrying moments in the film.

 Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves / int_3aec9e5e
comment
Properly Paranoid: Remembering what happened the first few times his kids were near his inventions, Wayne makes up an errand to get them out of the house before he turns on the shrinking machine. Considering he accidentally shrinks all the adults, Wayne made the right call. Patti keeps insisting that Mitch needs to take his medicine on time. Mitch blows her off because he thinks he'll be fine without it. It turns out his mother was right; Mitch gets very ill and faints from the lack of potassium. Patti thought she heard a noise from her car and assumed her breaks were giving out, that's why she put a block behind the wheel. She was right, but it doesn't help when she forgets to do it the last time.

 Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Wayne apparently has a court order preventing him from using the shrinking machine (which he breaks, naturally). Considering what happened the last time, it's understandable (and also that it was Diane who led the charge in getting the injunction). Mitch happily thinks that he doesn't need to take his regular potassium vitamins for his medical condition. Come a few hours later, he's feeling very ill and begging Adam desperately to help him find the bottle his mother left on the counter.

Non Sequitur, *Thud*: Subverted. When Jenny and Adam revive Mitch by feeding him some bananas, he tells them in a weak voice that he saw their moms on the counter. They nod and go Sure, Let's Go with That because their bigger concern is making sure Mitch is okay. Later, Gordon and Wayne confirm the ladies were on the counter.

Spanner in the Works: While Properly Paranoid, Wayne's precautions to prevent a repeat of the previous two films' incidents is ultimately undone by an x-factor he didn't anticipate: The junk in the attic being jostled by the reactivated machine and falling on the controls. Likewise, Wayne and Gordon didn't anticipate their wives would return home (due to accidentally bringing Mitch's medicine with them).

Sequel Non-Entity: Nick and Amy were each only mentioned once (when Adam talks with Diane about going to baseball camp), replaced by cousins Mitch and Jenny. Also justified because Nick and Amy have been adults for quite some time now and live their own lives. This is the only instalment of the Honey franchise without an appearance from Nick.

Your Size May Vary: Inverted from the first film, where the children often appeared much smaller than their stated height of 1/4 of an inch tall. Here, the parents are reduced to 3/4s of an inch tall according to Wayne. Yet, in many shots, they appear to be around an inch tall, sometimes appearing to be closer to 1.5 inches tall (twice their stated height) compared to the scenery and various "giant" items around them.

Artistic License – Medicine: Severe hypokalemia (low blood potassium) is a little more dangerous than the film makes out, and certainly can't be fixed with a few mouthfuls of banana (and not that quickly). More realistically, you'd need a couple of hours on an IV drip, and preferably have a heart monitor watching your heart rate, too.

Made of Iron: The parents have several very long falls (from their scale), but don't suffer so much as a scratchnote This makes sense, as at that size they don't have the mass necessary to impact the ground with any real force. Where their extra mass actually goes is a question for the ages with pretty much any "shrinking" story, but if they didn't, they would be punching through most of the surfaces they tried to stand on.

Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Zigzagged. Wayne now manages his own laboratory with several scientists working for him on various projects. Despite at least ten years passing between the first and third films, not much time is spent examining how the world is changed now that shrinking ray technology exists (aside from a passing line about how the original shrink ray is going to be displayed in the Smithsonian).

Adults Are Useless: A very situational example. The highlight, however, is when Patti and Diane try to deliver Mitch's medicine to him, and they fail because the bottle is too big. It is averted, however, when Gordon scares the kids out of the house by hijacking the stereo projector.

comment
Oh, Crap!: A few times, notably when the parents realize they've been shrunk. Wayne's reaction when the still-large wives enter the attic right after him and Gordon are shrunk: Also Wayne's reaction when he sees that the soap bubble him and his brother are riding inside is floating upward toward a very pointy chandelier... Also, the kids when they realize the implications of their parents having been in the house the entire time.

P.O.V. Cam: We actually see the shrinking effect from Wayne's POV. It's used a few times during the film to show things from the tiny parents' perspective, notably during their rollercoaster-like trip through a Hot Wheels track.

What You Are in the Dark: At the end of the film, after finding the shrunken parents and taking them to the attic to be enlarged, Adam and Mitch discuss the possibility of leaving them tiny and continuing to live free. Jenny is tempted for a moment too, but thankfully they all decide against it.

Too Dumb to Live
 Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves / int_b58b4e3c
comment
Too Dumb to Live: Wayne, yet again, combined with Aesop Amnesia. Though he took some precautions before using the shrink ray this time (sending the kids out of the house, putting the Big Red Button underneath a locked glass case) for some reason he decides to leave the machine powered up and running after he finishes shrinking his giant Tiki Man statue, and then stands right in front of it with Gordon. Three guesses what happens to them... Gordon tries to pop the soap bubble that him and Wayne are floating inside of, before Wayne stops him. Diane when Wayne gets the Shrink Machine out of mothballs to polish it up for the Smithsonian. While that is a legitimate motive, Diane also knows Wayne. She knows him well enough that she successfully got a court order blocking him from ever using the technology again after the last film. Did Diane really think Wayne was going to be able to resist the temptation to fire up the old prototype one more time?

Floating in a Bubble: At one point, in order to bypass the staircase, the parents split up into pairs and ride soap bubbles from the banister down to the living room floor. The wives go first and manage land on the floor without too much fuss. The husbands aren't so lucky (see Disaster Dominoes above).

Yank the Dog's Chain: When the tiny parents reach a windowsill and see their car parked in the driveway, they hope the kids will see it and realize the parents are in the house. But then the brakes give out and the car rolls out of the driveway and across the street, right before the kids return from the store.

Lighter and Softer: The first movie had the real fear of the kids drowning, getting eaten, or being mutilated by a lawnmower in their own backyard. In the second, Diane was worried about Adam getting injured while innocently rampaging through Las Vegas. Here, it's more of a Bottle Episode where the worst fear is about Mitch forgetting to take his medicine.

Kicked Upstairs: Happened incidentally as Wayne became the CEO of a modest science lab, with his brother Gordon directly heading the various projects. Wayne is completely out of his depth with budget and investor meetings, while Gordon is not the brilliant scientist Wayne is. By the end of the movie he promotes the more personable Gordon to CEO so he can go back to the actual science work.

No Antagonist: Similar to that of the first film, this film's major conflict stems largely from Wayne's machine accidentally shrinking Wayne as well as his brother, wife, and sister-in-law, and the adults' subsequent journey through the now-gigantic house trying to get their kids' attention. Sure, Ricky and his friends are definite jerks, but they're neither outright evil/antagonistic nor that crucial to the film's plot.

Art Evolution: Wayne's Shrinking Machine has been redesigned from its appearance in the previous two films. While the basic design template's still intact (and it's still the original prop), it's now been modified with more advanced components and overall it looks more 'cleaned up'. The updated design's justified in-universe by Wayne wanting to polish the prototype up for its Smithsonian exhibit.

Disaster Dominoes: Another stray ball (a pool ball instead of a baseball) triggers the shrink ray and shrinks both sets of parents this time around. One of the girls turns on the heat in the house just as Gordon and Wayne are floating by a vent inside a soap bubble, causing them to rise up with the hot air toward a very pointy chandelier. The bubble pops, sending the dads falling into a bowl of onion dip, right as the girls are chowing down on potato chips.

Product Placement: The parents ride a Hot Wheels brand toy car and track to get out of Adam's room. There was even a special edition of the VHS release which included the shark cruiser they ride in. The stereo Wayne and Gordon use to amplify their voices is Sony brand. The girls are eating Lay's potato chips during the party, when the two fathers fall into the dip bowl. Also, Diane and Patti are standing in front of a giant box of Trix cereal when Ricky tries to kiss Jenny. The copy of Sports Illustrated for Kids Adam hides from his parents.
